I offer short or long term counselling / psychotherapy to adults using a humanistic integrative approach to explore a wide range of issues such as:

Using a Humanistic integrative approach I believe in helping the client realise their true potential by focussing on integrating body, mind, emotion and spirit.

Philosophy on Counselling and Psychotherapy

Whilst working as a Mental Health Nurse I developed a vast array of diverse skills which I often draw upon in counselling and psychotherapy. I believe that every person is unique and effective psychotherapy is a journey which both the client and the therapist undertake together.

I am a firm believer that everybody wants to be accepted. As your counsellor I will endeavour to create a space that encourages acceptance in an environment that is empathic, non-judgemental, that fosters a positive unconditional regard and understanding.
